YMMV / Kuon

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Ashiya Doman, an outcast master exorcist and self-proclaimed rival to the legendary Abe no Seimei, is the architect behind the nightmare of Fujiwara Manor. Fully employed by the royal Fujiwara family until his power-hungry nature ignited tensions with his colleagues, Doman is nevertheless called upon by them to resolve their unease during times of disease. There, Doman discovers the meaning behind the forbidden Mulberry Tree, unsealing it in the hopes of gaining the power to prove himself superior to Seimei. Unleashing the Mulberry Twins and exploiting their loneliness, Doman persuades them to partake in the Kuon ritual, planning to exploit them after it is finished. Complicit with the twins in murdering his daughter Kureha, Doman uses her as the first component of the Kuon ritual, reviving her as an undead monster that kills at his behest. The inept Doman's failed experiments give rise to the Fujiwara manor being infested by the monstrous Gaki, ghosts, and other horrific monstrosities. Realizing he needs fresh sacrifices to complete the ritual, Doman lures his other daughter Utsuki and his own disciples to the manor, killing all but Sakuya, who barely survives the night. When Abe no Seimei herself arrives and confronts Doman, the latter gloats of his perceived accomplishments and expresses a perverse desire to make Seimei his Sex Slave after he defeats her.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks!: Your player character can heal themselves indefinitely via the Meditation move with no penalty. Thus, defeating the entire premise of survival horror. Those healing items you've been gathering? Outside boss and multiple enemy encounters, they're worthless.
